Chinchilla Digger Statue, War memorial statue in Chinchilla, Australia
The sandstone statue at 57 Heeney Street depicts an Australian infantryman in a slouch hat, with the rifle butt resting on the ground supported by a tree stump.
The monument, unveiled on January 30, 1919, by Governor Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams, commemorates the local soldiers who served during World War I.
The memorial represents the national practice of Australian communities establishing monuments to honor military service members through local fundraising and dedication.
After restoration by the RSL Women's Auxiliary in 1992, the statue stands in front of the Returned Services League Hall, where ceremonies take place during national commemorative events.
The statue underwent multiple relocations since 1977, including separation from its original pedestal and storage period before finding its current position at the RSL Hall.
